In front of the Alamo

in the fading light of a Texas day

San Antonio

through the windshield of a Chevrolet

With the front tyres pointed out of town

she sighs, and rolls her window down

counts to three and throws that wedding band

In front of the Alamo

that's a pretty good place to make a stand

In front of the Alamo

where the cameras click and the tourists stare

a long long time ago

she met the man in question there

she wanted trust, she wanted truth

two things he found hard to do

So forever was shorter than she planned

In front of the Alamo

that's a pretty good place to make a stand

She didn't come for inspiration,

or to breathe the mighty dust of heroes lost

She just felt the time was right

at this random traffic light

to say enough is enough and move on

In front of the Alamo

in the fading light of a Texas day

San Antonio

through the windshield of a Chevrolet

Maybe something in the air

makes the timid braver there

To cross the line that they've drawn in the sand

In front of the Alamo

They held on, she lets go

In front of the Alamo

That's a pretty good place to make a stand
